Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 17,069,479, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 17,069,479 | |
| -1 | -17,069,479 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 17,069,479.
Example:
1 x 17,069,479 = 17,069,479
and
-1 x -17,069,479 = 17,069,479
Notice both answers equal 17,069,479
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 17,069,479 and divide it by 2:
17,069,479 ÷ 2 = 8,534,739.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 8,534,739.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 17,069,479 | |
| -1 | -17,069,479 |
Now, we try dividing 17,069,479 by 3:
17,069,479 ÷ 3 = 5,689,826.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 5,689,826.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 17,069,479 | |
| -1 | -17,069,479 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
17,069,479 ÷ 4 = 4,267,369.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 4,267,369.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 17,069,479 | |
| -1 | 17,069,479 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 17 | 119 | 191 | 751 | 1,337 | 3,247 | 5,257 | 12,767 | 22,729 | 89,369 | 143,441 | 1,004,087 | 2,438,497 | 17,069,479 |
| -1 | -7 | -17 | -119 | -191 | -751 | -1,337 | -3,247 | -5,257 | -12,767 | -22,729 | -89,369 | -143,441 | -1,004,087 | -2,438,497 | -17,069,479 |
